Unfortunately all of the current kernels where 5.7 version? Went into advanced options, and found that somehow the CPU settings for cores was set to manual and the cpu 3 was set to Off?? Machine hasn't had a keyboard setup on it for some time, so no clue how it got set to manual, and why cpu 3 would have been set to off. The bios was showing that it supports 6 cpus, and all where set to on except #3? But CPU in machine is just a quad. Set it to automatic, and rebooted. It then showed the 4 cores running, and it is not showing that BOINC is running 4 active processes.. So, no clue how the setting got changed??
